Dogs can teach us many lessons in life:
Test new waters – don’t be afraid to try new things,
Love unconditionally and be yourself,
Always always live each moment to its fullest
And don’t be afraid of silliness (it’s fun)!

All great points, especially the one that says don’t be afraid of silliness. I suppose much like our pets the trick is to not contemplate that this or that behavior might be considered silly by some. 🙂

Ruby is Oscar’s great-granddaughter. She’s 4.5 years old and we’re fostering her until she goes back to the breeders for pups. Then the plan is that we get her back!

Their courage is amazing…I have always said…if I had half of what our Dalton has we would be even stronger. We drove up thru a McDonalds drive up last night, and Dalton decides to make a flying leap from the passenger seat out the drivers window…asking for a treat!!
